Re: Archiving
Our dated project data is offloaded to a NAS system every month or so.

Re: Veeam
The backup server is a physical box with tons of SATA storage.and VEEAM is running there. It grabs the images of the dozen or so virtual servers from the iSCSI SAN and then we backup the backup server to LTO-5 tape for offsite storage on a weekly basis. We're hoping for MGMT buy-in to do offsite replication sometime next year but the data pipe isn't sufficient we're stuck with tape for now.

Re: OT: Off-Brand / Reman Toner
My experience with reman'd cartridges: 1) You will save some money, and 2) You will have more problems. If you're working with a good company the savings can offset the issues relating to leaking toner and mechanical issues. For us, the savings was substantial but the users and execs determined is wasn't worth the hassles and we returned to OEM toner. Roger Wright ___ Dr. Seuss is my favorite rapper!

Re: Help? Microsoft old antivirus update for $9.95 FOUND IT !
Well, my single disk drive can only read SSSD floppies. Maybe I should check FidoNet and look for definition files on another system. I'm glad I upgraded my 300 baud modem to a lightning-fast 1200! It'll probably only take 40-45 minutes to download them all. Roger Wright ___ "Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil." - J.

Re: Home AV for user with XPx64
Still, since VIPRE can be had for as little as $20 - it's a no-brainer for me. Clients can get best of breed protection for less than $2/month.

Re: "Personal" laser printers
I've had good luck with the $99 Brother HL-2270DW series. Includes wireless, duplexing, and at that price is nearly throwaway capable if fails.

Re: Antivirus Center
I learned it from here as well. It's from the LogMeIn company. Of all the remote access tools out there, I like TeamViewer best. Being able to reboot into safe mode and auto-reconnect is great, and TV has the smoothest screen action. However, it's not free for commercial use so I can only use it to support family and friends (unless accepting homemade cookies in exchange for services constitutes "payment" - ).
